The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) has advised countries globally to prepare for a potential increase in hantavirus cases. The warning comes as health authorities monitor outbreaks and transmission risks.
In the United States, American cruise passengers who tested positive for hantavirus have been transported to a quarantine center. Additionally, Emory University is reportedly monitoring two individuals connected to this ongoing hantavirus outbreak linked to the cruise.
Concerns are also rising regarding the spread of the Andes strain of hantavirus within the U.S., with questions about its transmission ease. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
